What You'll Actually Experience

  • Weekly evening sessions over nine months, because everyone has day jobs
  • Small group discussions where you can ask questions without feeling awkward
  • Real scenarios from mortgages to retirement planning that apply to Australian conditions
  • Guest speakers from local credit unions and financial planning firms
  • Take-home exercises that work with your actual budget and goals

We skip the theory lectures. Instead, you'll work through situations similar to ones you're probably facing right now—whether that's buying property, planning for kids' education, or just getting your credit card under control.

Who's Teaching This

Our facilitators come from different financial backgrounds, which means you get varied perspectives on money management. They've all lived in Tasmania and understand local economic realities.
